Lovely coat, but totally agree with other posters about the trousers and blouse. It is difficult to perceive how she could have looked at herself in the mirror and not thought to herself that the trousers were unflattering to the point of looking a little ridiculous.

I love the whole look, the coat is cheerful and great for a Christmas event. I like the slightly mannish shirt and tailored slacks look - reminds me of Katherine Hepburn. And I adore the metallic gold flats - she looks fab.

I think she looks fabulous - I like the cropped trouser as well. It's a very stark, tailored outfit and she has the height and posture to carry it off. The contrast with the little pops of red and her blonde hair make it work really well.

Charlene's jacket is nice and I like the additional detail of the red birds. I'm not a fan of her trousers however, they look slightly odd with the jacket to my eyes, as if they were meant for a different outfit.

I love the jacket, well tailored and simple. The bird details adds a lovely pop of color abd detail

But I hate the pants, reminds me of my friends wedding which she had us in the wedding party in historical garb. The groomsmen were in short pants and knee socks, and that is what these pants keep making me picture.
